  1. Clingan finally got the three! Keep shooting them during SL big fella

  2. NevermoreSEA

    Sarr is going to have nightmares about Clingan after this game.

    Yeah Bub looks good.

    Yeah we drafted him.

    But lets wait til we see Deni play in the real NBA and how Carrington does.

    It’ll be a bit different.

    I’m sold. get Clingan in the 3 point contest.

  5. redwheelbarrow_

    Clingan with another solid night defensively. We move.

    Rupert has no handle, but he looked good on defense tonight, especially guarding Carrington. He should continue to get lots of Remix minutes and improve his shot. If he can be a reliable catch-and-shoot guy in the future, he could develop into a useful piece.

    I don’t think Kris Murray is an NBA player.

  7. I love him, y’all. I’m convinced the scoring will come around, too.

    Thoughts on this one:

    Clingan’s defensive rebounding is great. He’s also excellent at staying vertical to block shots. His foot speed is… not so great lol and his offensive game is rudimentary at this point. Doesn’t help that these guards are either tiny or ball hogs. His shot form looks awkward and he leans toward the hoop, like he’s not on balance.

    Rupert’s spot up shooting looks good, his form is much more compact than before. Otherwise he’s pretty lost out there, not anything special on defense and zero ball skills.

    Murray is terrible in every facet. Moving on.

    McGowens is solid but doesn’t fit the team so no reason for him to ever see playing time. Minaya continues to impress on defense but I don’t think that’s enough to keep him on the team. For Washington, Sarr struggled terribly — some was Clingan but mostly he just took difficult floaters and missed his jumpers, and actually got ripped a few times by our guards/wings. Bub Carrington looked pretty good, he’s definitely taller than 6’4″

  9. This is why Clingan was drafted with Ayton already on the roster. His skillset is just more conducive to winning. He completely changes the defense and can be a hub on offense without scoring a point.

    Clingan with a +/- of +9 and Sarr with a -6. Not bad for a guy taken 5 picks later!

    Clingan was great on defense. Staying with Bub on a switch and blocking the stepback three (he blocked another three earlier too) was stepper encouraging.

    His finishing….looks a bit nurky to me unfortunately. Hopefully with some real guards he gets some better looks.

    Clingan was playing volleyball on their rim all night – I counted four missed tips.

    Love Sarr as a prospect but if there’s anyone not ready to handle 7’3 and 280, its him.

    Clingan having as many assists as Chandler is fucked. What are we doing here? Come on coaching staff.

  14. joeblowssnow

    yo did Sarr seriously go 0-15, 0-7 and 0-2???

  15. masta_wayne__

    Murray needs 20 shots a game from now on. I don’t care if he misses every one

  16. AllDamDay7

    I bet the wizards are feeling Sarr-y after this one. We fleeced them in the draft and the trade.

    I am excited but I’ve felt this way before. Don’t ever become a Blazers, Mariners and Beaver fan. It ain’t healthy 😂

    Do we have a shot at the summer league championship?
